How was your March lantern fans? Was it better than DC Comics’ sales? March 2012 saw the return of Marvel Comics in the top 10 comics sold sales chart. Diamond has released the Top 100 comics sold and “The House of Mouse” took the top two spots and #5 as well. Justice League #7 slipped to #3, while Green Lantern #7 came in at #7, two lower than last month.
We mention this guy often, because he does more promotion for Green Lantern: The Animated Series than Cartoon Network. I’m not referring to myself, although that is also true, but none other than GL:TAS producer Giancarlo Volpe. During the Emerald City Comicon weekend he released some thumbnails from the series that provided an interesting and often unseen look at the animation process. This time around he releases some thumbnails for the episode “Into the Abyss”. Check some out below and more at his tumblr.
As Newsarama reported on Thursday, DC is already anticipating the sales boost from an upcoming event in Green Lantern.

Green Lantern readers over the last 6 years are certainly no strangers to big storylines and crossovers. DC Comics launched “The New52” in September of last year and crossovers were put on hold to let these 52 titles find their own lane. Since then, we’ve seen various titles mix and match(Frankenstein & O.M.A.C., JL: Dark & I,Vampire, Teen Titans & Legion Lost) but nothing on that felt like a “true” crossover event. That is until current Batman writer Scott Snyder embarked on his “Night of the Owls” crossover that sets off on the Bat books next month. Now it seems that Green Lantern will be next on the crossover docket for DC Comics in 2012.
Following the Princess Iolande centric episode, Green Lantern: The Animated Series looks to continue to deliver more lantern goodness to our hearts. Cartoon Network has provided media for the new GL:TAS episode “Lost Planet”, starting at 10:00am (ET/PT) on Saturday, April 7th, 2012. Below you’ll find episode details, two video clips, and a collection of images. As usual, head over to WF for the latest DC Nation clip.
